Slight change of plans...which I'm sure xtian will appreciate more, haha.

Tallied up some numbers and estimated hours of work...and...well, to get to where I want to get, I'd essentially be building a car from scratch, so I figured I might as well just build from scratch and start with a GTM Supercar frame.

So, I'm doing a much more mild refresh on the Trans Am which should be finished by the summer, so I'll have a kickass daily driver while I build the GTM. Putting in a new LS1 motor and T56 tranny, subframe connectors, partial rollcage, custom dash, carputer. Leaving out the custom ECU and saving that for the GTM.

So, I guess I'll come back to the propane madness in about 6 months time. I'll post a link to the Trans Am build thread on the thirdgen.org forums for those interested once I get that going.
